What materials do I need to make a "Have a Heart" puzzle?

You will need a piece of cardboard or thick paper, scissors, a pencil, and markers or colored pencils.

How do I design the puzzle?

Start by drawing two equal-sized hearts on the cardboard or paper. Then, draw a wavy line down the middle of both hearts, making sure the line connects at the top and bottom. Cut along the line to create two puzzle pieces.

How difficult is it to solve the puzzle?

The difficulty level of the puzzle depends on how intricate you make the wavy line. You can make it simple or more complex to challenge yourself or others.

Can I make different sizes of "Have a Heart" puzzles?

Yes, you can make the puzzles any size you want by adjusting the size of the hearts and the wavy line. You can also make multiple puzzles with varying sizes for a fun challenge.

How do I play with the "Have a Heart" puzzle?

The objective is to put the two puzzle pieces together to form a complete heart. Start with the two pieces separated and try to figure out how they fit together. You can also race against others to see who can solve it the fastest.
